I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

make pictsquare events i beg

the ideal doujinshi event must-haves: - cheap to attend - 50 bucks a table max no exceptions - one day - physically sorted by fandom or topic and nice-to-haves: - located in a city most people can get to with a direct flight - receive books for tablers so they don't have to transport them

actually i just remembered a couple other must-haves - your table must be majority doujinshi or i BEAT YOU WITH A BAT - NO GRIFTERS OR I BEAT YOU WITH A BAT these are not problems in jp doujinshi culture but i have seen how things operate over here and i think the bat is necessary.

zero/varshahn is truly one of the biggest brain ships that nobody is ready for

ff14 spoils sometimes i miss the days when i had no idea what ffxiv was but still looked at all hundreds of pages of that one artist's thancred urianger art

Fantine after the events of Pandaemonium doesn't become found family with Claudien just because their ancients were siblings, but they do become friends and she drops by to say hello from time to time and ask how his research is going/give him updates on anything she's been up to

I think upon learning they were related in a past life they would definitely have a Moment of just being like🧍🧍‍♂️

i know most ffxiv players avert their gaze when a male character isnt onscreen but its awesome how so many seemingly never got the point of rynes arc being about how shes her own person and her fate shouldnt be dictated by others 🫢

imagine if fanon ryne got to be her own character and not wholesome hecking chungus thancreds daughter

i wonder what really happened, but im not actively digging, nor have i seen a post yet going into more detail…

i really love having people reply so sincerely. bc i was being sincere too

i do agree with you on this though. i just don't know if "Dunking on people because it feels good and makes me feel morally superior" is the place

it becomes a kneejerk reaction and it can end up happening with important information and decontextualizes events and their outcomes/harm when something actually consequential happens imani barbarin on memeifying politics: x.com/Imani_Barbar...

thinking abt the post asking people not to lie to gain ideological ground because its the enemy playbook

table of "ships where one haunts the other"

ff14 spoils thinking about the hypothetical situation of finishing ilberd/raubahn doujin and tabling it like theres a ffxiv en doujin market

not to blab too much i'm sure everyone's already sick of it but a fundamental part of the doujinshi experience to me is that fandoms/subjects/pairings will get seated next to each other physically which creates a real sense of community among people who like the same thing

epic the musical your songs are very fun but when i search "elpis hermes" that means i want to see sad green-eyed single father merch please

ff14 spoils (looks at venat and themis) …hm

[guy who's been staring at ref pictures of thancred too long voice] it is symbolically interesting how thancred's design slowly begins to include more and more white over time given his line in the short story about how the biggest bastards wear white

ラベルプリンター可愛い〜〜〜！！！！！

a long time ago i was talking with a doujinshi friend about how american cons are not fanzine focused and there is almost zero fanzine scene here and actually zero (well, one now) doujinshi events and she was like "wow. so there's no reason to draw doujinshi" still think about that

i think about that because i might be a complete sicko drawing doujinshi anyway but in the end i also believe it's frankly unrealistic to expect people to draw and print fanzines when there are no physical or digital events to share them at

Making a 🧵 of all the Persian/Iranian mythology and cultural references I've noticed in FFXIV here: But before I get into it, a lil bit about me! I was born and raised in Iran for 14 years. As you may know, the current regime in charge which came into power 47 years ago has made life uninhabitable

Plogons may be down, but at least Erich always has Themis watching over him now.

#DawntrailSpoilers ERICH YOU PRECIOUS BABY I LOVE YOU

I legit wish we could have many more adventures with Erich and Themis. I miss them so much. Precious boys 😭❤️

I- I- I was so emotional at the end, especially when Claudien showed the entire message from the crystal...Erich stayed until the end... The epilogue was perfect....Little Themis accompanies Erich... I'm so glad they added it!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

ff14 spoils i think of erichthonios sometimes as a prince of hell, a prince of demons

the benevolent emissary for the star/head of the fucked up monster dungeon zoo… something something preserving the balance of dark and light something something equilibrium

i cant do this i need to sleep good night every body and good luck with the eritoni gas leak

i want to chew on erich’s warning crystal like a teething toy

ramune flavored

How tf am I an essential worker?

Oh my god...

I am mostly just astonished they don't use placeholder player models for these because it feels like they're aware of the possibility that we'll unmask them to check so they go "yes that really is them under those chicken heads".

OMG BESTIE We are BESTIES now I was obsessed the moment I saw them 😭😭😭

hi. Old Urianger doodles be upon ye

ff14 spoils oh wow animations do not actually get posted like that huh…u almost saw the. but didnt

tim and eric pandaemonium

ff14 spoils lrp reminds me why m'naago is my litmus test

I think about this a lot esp. in the context of how often xiv portrays war vs. how rarely it portrays senseless death. not the spectacle of nameless npcs getting blown up in the background, but the raw agony of losing someone you knew and liked
